Postscript

Mahela Jayawardena stepped down
from the captaincy at the end of the Australian tour, the fifth ODI in Hobart being his final
match in charge.

Sri
Lanka Cricket suspended Charith

pending an inquiry into 3 charges against him. A week later Michael De Zoysa was appointed
manager for the following year.

In September 2013 Graham Ford
let it be known that he would be standing down as Sri Lanka’s Head Coach after his
contract expired in January 2014.

Also on 20 February 2013Chaminda Vaas was appointed bowling coach
and Marvan Atapattu promoted to assistant coach.
